lips and whistle in bird-like but me-
tallic voice. Mrs. Shaw is not at all as
this vision. She is a dignifed, stately
and beautiful woman, who uses her
greatest talent to gain livelihood. BY
her efforts she supportsa large family OF
little children. none of whom, strange
to state, have their mammals whistling
abilities.
L. She whistled by ear until a few months
ago. when she began to train under the
tuition OF Professor Bell. and now reads
the most difficult music. Her notes are
said to be as pure and true as those OF Il
flute. She whistles all of Ardit6's, De
Gibe's and Milliard's music and any
number of songs and ballads, new and
old.
1T is queer that Mrs. Shaw's mouth
never loses its pucker when she once
begins TO WHISTLE . said one of her young
pupils recently. I've seen her eyes
full of laughter, and yet her mouth will
go right on whistling. Now, when | try
TO whistle, and get my mouth all nicely
fixed, If any one even looks at me ! lose
the pucker and have to begin all over
again"
Next season Mrs. Shaw expects to &C
abroad and whistle in London drawing
rooms.

no epidemic has devastated the state. and no

had more cause to be thankful on that day than
the family of Mr.. Wigs, residing ut the corner

under various designations. such as cold, scro'

slow in its progress. Mr. Wiggs In talking to
the report er about the case said "The abcess
in this case was the result of the scarlet fever,
chronic abCesS often following such low forms
of disease. The discharge was the most profuse

SHAD DISTRIBUTION.
The Output Greatly In Excess OF Any
Previous Year.

The following distribution Of shad dur
ing the past season Is shown in statement
prepared for the annual report OF the fish
commission: Penobscot river, 100000;
Kennebec river, s0O,O 900; tributaries Of Mar
raganset bay, 1,2T5,000; Hudson river and
tributaries, 100000 tributaries Of Della
ware bay, 100000; tributaries Of Chesa-
peake bay, 6S, 10000; tributaries of Able
marie sound, 1922 900; tributaries of South
Atlantic coast, 1866, 900; tributaries of the
Gulf Of Mexico, 7,04S,000; inland waters,
1,014, 600; total, 5,421 900.
This number Is greatly In excess OF the
output Of any previous year, and without
an increase Of expenditure. These results
are due to improved methods in Matching
and culture. Some experiments have lately
been made with view to the ascertainment
OF the percentage OF shad which survive the
casualties and diseases Of infancy and at
tain such size as to give reasonable expec-
tation Of life, barring accidents.
Two seasons ago Col. Marshall Melon.
aid, superintendent Of distribution, by
direction of Prof. Baird, placed in one OF
the carp ponds In Washington 40, 1000 shad
fry which had been Matched out at central
station. The following October, when the
ponds were drawn, the young shad, Their
from two and half to three inches In
length, were collected and counted, and
fully 5000 small shad were obtained. This
and other experiments indicate that 20 pei
cent OF the fry placed in our rivers will
survive.
